Last month strange period, this month no/mayve late period

Okay, you may see me around here.  I love, love, love babies and so want to be pregnant  - under the right cir****tances (please, right?).

Anyways my period is very regular - though I've not been tracking as I'm not sexually active for the most part.  It seems every couple of months I have a fling with the ex !!!

So I think it was last month, my period started and stopped then started and stopped for a short time - 2 or 3 days.  And now, I am certainly late.  My breasts aren't sore or anything.

The logical thing to do would be to test but I'm terrified.  I figure I will just keep taking care of myself and supplementing??? 

Oh God, I would be a single mom and I just don't know how one does that.

Even worse, I have just got into the groove of dating  . . . I've met someone with potential.

What to do?

test and keep yourself from worrying silly girl! Get an answer, unfortunately waiting won't change the answer!

hang in there!

I agree with Liz... Waiting/ignoring will not change the outcome... if your pregnant... your pregnant.

If not... I suggest the use of birth control or condoms or both when your having a fling with your Ex..... then you won't have to worry like this......

Good Luck!

I guess I don't understand what you are asking.

Get a test and find out. That's really the only thing to do if you have a late period and you were sexually active. I am not sure there is any other advice to give. Or maybe I am not understanding the post. But if you *think* you might be pregnant......POAS.

Hey Jojo!

I guess one of my questions are could a start/stop completely, start/stop completely short period be a"sign" of pregnancy?  Followed by a late one  - hopefully!

I know I should simply test, but I am not sure that I could handle it right now.  I am taking care of myself  "as if" in the meantime.

I'd have to be in the presence of medical professionals to POAS.  I kid you not, I am terrified and I won't do it.

Some women do have bleeding during pregnancy.. Have you seen the show "I didn't know I was pregnant" ?  Its happened to more people than I would have imagined!

Soooo... if you need to go to the dr to take a test, do it! Do something,....

good luck!

Yes... being a single mom has its difficulties.... but it is all worth it in the end.  It DEFINATELY not the WORST thing in the world. But it does change your whole life.

That is... if you *happen* to be pregnant.. but wouldnt suggest doing it on purpose... :-)

Being a single mom is worth it no doubt.  My sister and I lived together and raised my niece (her daughter).  She is 19 now, and in her 3rd year of college.  There is not a person on earth that I love more - she is amazing!  If she were the only kid I'd ever had to raise  somehow I get to be okay with it.

Go down to Duane Reade, buy your little package and go POAS already...inquiring minds want to know.  I assume if you lived w/your sister to help raise your neice...then you're close w/your sister...so go POAS at her place...or have her come to your place...it doesn't have to be in a dr's office...and your sister would be there to pick you up off the floor if it came positive, and console you if it was negative (I say that only because I know you do want a baby..and even if the cir****tances  aren't ideal...you'd still be over the moon...right?).

Totally off topic and not really my business...but I say it because I hate to see women harming themselves w/unhealthy relationships (btdt myself)....Re the on again/off again w/your ex...I'll tell you the same thing I told a friend of mine (also from NY) who had an on again/off again w/her ex for 15+ years.  If it hasn't worked itself out by now...and you can't find a way to be happy and be together...then you need to move on permanently and find someone who is good for you and good to you....then you can work on those ideal cir****tances and have all the babies you want w/o the worries of being a single mom.  My friend finally - FINALLY - cut the strings w/her ex, made some major changes in her life...and is now in a good relationship w/a man who makes her happy.  I pray the same thing happens for you...but you have to make it happen.

Thanks Holly!
